Madrid: Karim Benzema struck twice to earn Real Madrid a comfortable 3-0 victory over Cadiz to take them provisionally back top of La Liga.
They are level with Atletico Madrid on 70 points but have a better head-to-head record than Diego Simeone’s side, who face Huesca on Thursday, DPA reported. Benzema netted his 20th league goal of the season from the penalty spot after Vinicius Junior was fouled, after an even start to the game.
Three minutes later Alvaro Odriozola doubled the lead from Benzema’s cross, and the Frenchman netted again in the 40th minute from close range, heading home a Casemiro ball. Zidane’s squad is heavily depleted due to injuries and the coronavirus.
